Solution
- During inflation, the producers and businessmen gain in the short period.
- Usually the cost of production does not rise as fast as the price of their products. And so there an artificial margin of profit.
- As against this, they may be adversely affected in the long run. If the price level goes on increasing, the total consumption (demand) of their product would fall. This reduced consumption/demand will ultimately reduce their profit.
